Must cost the education system a few noggy Kr to dish out free iPads and it will not be long before the system is abused .
Issue free iPads to schools around here and they'd be on eBay the following day!

You couldn't start it up without a dongle. Perhaps there's a way of making the pads require to connect with the school's wifi signal or it'll seize up after, say. a week without connecting to it.

I'm sure the schools can do something similar to the ipads so they don't work if they 'disappear'.
